Chapter 041 "Lemon Tea"

"Miss Catherine, please don't use the word 'request', your words are an order to Dobby." Dobby shouted hurriedly, "It is already Dobby's greatest honor to make an unbreakable vow for you, and Miss Catherine needs not be so polite again." ”

"This—" Catherine hesitated for a moment before she commanded, "one, don't let Harry know anything about you until I give permission; 2. Don't make a move unless Harry is really at a life-threatening point, and if you can't judge, ask me at the first opportunity. ”

"What if Dobby can't find Miss Catherine in time?" Dobby grabbed the dirty, ugly pillowcase on his body and asked nervously.

"Save him at once." Catherine didn't hesitate to say, "Remember, you can only do this if you can't find me right away!" Harry needs to grow up, he needs to know how to face danger alone, and his fate requires that he must be very strong, so he cannot become dependent on any protection, including you. ”

"Dobby understood!" Dobby nodded vigorously, his ears flapping as fast as his wings.

"Now—" Catherine laughed suddenly, "go take a shower and change your clothes!" ”

"Clothes?" Dobby's eyes suddenly lit up like two green light bulbs, "Does Miss Catherine really allow Dobby to get dressed?" ”

"Huh? Sorry, I almost forgot. Catherine pulled a gold Galleon from her pocket and put it in Dobby's hand, "Go buy a set of clothes you like." ”

"Thank you so much! Dobby is so grateful to Miss Catherine! Dobby has wanted to get dressed for a long time! Dobby grabbed the gold Galleon and shouted excitedly, "Miss Catherine is so generous, Miss Catherine, Dobby is the happiest thing in my life to meet you!" He began to weep again.

"Let's go!" Catherine said with a stiff smile.

"Yes, Miss Catherine!" Dobby nodded vigorously, snapped his fingers, and disappeared from Catherine's face.

"Is it necessary to be so indulgent to him?" Snape frowned and asked, "A house-elf." ”

"Every life has its value, which can be disagreed, but not denied." Catherine got up and walked over to Snape and spread out her dirty hands, "Not to mention that you can only get by giving." With a flick of his wand, her palm became white again.

"And what do you want from him?" Snape suddenly grabbed Catherine's right hand and pulled her into his arms, "The secret history of the Malfoy family, Lucius's minor problems, or—"

"Abraxas Malfoy!" Catherine put away Snape's wand, looked up at him, and chuckled gracefully, "The Slytherin prefect when he entered the school and the recommender when he joined the hunting party. ”

"You're twelve!" Snape stroked her hair, his voice unusually full of helplessness and pity.

"Time waits for no one—" Catherine sighed, resting her head on Snape's shoulder, "it doesn't stop extravagantly just because I'm a child." ”

"Forcing a child to grow—" Snape took Catherine into his arms and let her sit in the crook of his arm, "is the most unforgivable fault of adults." He suddenly got up and walked to the door.

"Professor?" Catherine looked up in surprise and looked at Snape.

"It's time for lunch!" Snape replied in a serious manner, then gave the password to open the door.

【Wait a minute! Catherine shouted in a hurry, struggling to get back to the ground, but was stopped by Snape.

"What's wrong?" Snape looked at her puzzled, he didn't understand what Catherine was trying to say.

"Put me down, Professor!" Catherine didn't want the image she had worked so hard to build up this morning to be destroyed by Snape in this way.

"Why?" Snape asked unhappily.

"I—" Catherine didn't dare to tell the real reason, fearing that Snape would knowingly commit a crime, so she made a random excuse, "I can go by myself." ”

"Really?" Snape would never believe such an idiot's reason, "At what cost? ”

"Professor!" Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want?" ”

"You have to stay with me for the next two months." Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Except for class and sleep." ”

"Why?" Catherine wondered why he was making such a request.

"Agreed?" Snape avoided answering.

"Agreed!" Compared to the freedom crisis in the next two months, the current situation is more troublesome.

"Good!" Snape immediately put her down, but still clenched Catherine's right hand.

Staring at Snape's greasy hair covered in hair care potions, Catherine couldn't help but hold her chin and ponder the meaning behind his request, until she suddenly heard a voice.

"Click!" Catherine followed the prestige and saw Creevey waving at her with her camera, and when she thought of her and Snape's current posture, she knew exactly how much trouble the picture would cause if it got out.

"Camera flying!" Without hesitation, Catherine drew her wand and threw the Flying Charm at Creevey, and the camera in the little boy's hand flew towards her, and Snape reached for it and tightened it in his pocket.

"Feel free to take pictures! Gryffindor deducts one point! Snape shouted, and walked straight past Creevey into the Great Hall, where Catherine looked apologetically at the little boy, who had just wanted to take his film.

When Catherine turned around, she found that all the people who were looking at her had eyes bigger than eggs, and mouths big enough to stuff the whole mango.

"What's going on?" Catherine asked softly in surprise, replaying her memories before she realized what they were shocked about.

"Rare and weird!" Snape cursed and led Catherine to her seat before letting go of her hand and heading to the professorship.

The silence lasted for a long time, until Catherine sat down to begin her meal, when Draco stammered, "You-and-Dean-you-you-to-the-end-"

"Is it necessary to be so shocked!" Catherine raised an eyebrow and asked, "It's not like you haven't seen it." ”

"But--his-expression-very-very-very-very-" Draco couldn't go on for a long time.

"What the hell is it?" Catherine asked impatiently, and she felt it was very hard to hear.

"Gentle!" Draco finally spat out the last word, but as soon as he finished speaking, his face turned blue and almost suffocated.

"Isn't that weird?" Catherine couldn't understand why everyone else had a frightened expression, "He's not paralyzed. ”

"Almost." Draco glanced at Snape stealthily, then grabbed his goblet and took a big sip, "I've never seen such a gentle expression on his face when I've grown so big. ”

"Ah—" Catherine sighed, shaking her head, "what a rarity! ”

"Damn!" Draco couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "You've seen a lot?" ”

Catherine didn't answer, but just nodded at Professor Sienu, and Draco led the group to look over and find that except for Sybil Trelawney, who had never been in a state, the other faculty members were not shocked, but their faces were full of nostalgia, and Dumbledore even said something very excitedly, but his words made Snape's face turn pale.

What the hell is going on?

All the students had this question in their hearts, except for a few children who were in the know, who looked at Harry with sighs on their faces, just because they had inherited their parents' appearances, so that one of them could only be hated, and the other was all spoiled.

After lunch, Catherine followed Snape back to his office, fulfilling her promise, only to find out that there was another person with her.

"Dumbledore, it's not tea time yet." Snape wanted to tie up the uneasy and kind old guy in front of him and sink to the bottom of the black lake.

"Don't you think having a cup of tea after a meal helps digestion?" Dumbledore pulled a couch out of the air with his wand and sat down across from Snape with a smile.

"I'll make you a cup of tea right away!" Snape sat down in the chair across from him and pulled out a stack of jars and jars, "Catherine, a big cup of hot tea, the biggest cup." ”

"Okay!" Catherine smiled brightly at Dumbledore, ran into the room, took a large cup of reagents, poured a cup of hot tea, and placed it on the small table in front of Snape.

"Severus, that-" Dumbledore watched with trepidation as Snape poured the pile of potions into the hot tea, "I still prefer lemon tea." ”

"It's easy!" Snape immediately looked at his "assistant".

"Wait a minute!" Catherine immediately ran to fetch a large jar of dried lemon slices for the zuò potion, and stuffed them all into the cup of hot tea, and a strong sour smell immediately overshadowed its strange and unpleasant smell.

"Please use tea, principal, this is the latest super-heavy lemon tea, it has a very powerful digestive function, and it will never make your stomach feel any more overloaded." Catherine was super enthusiastic as she shoved the cup of "lemon tea" into Dumbledore's hand.

"Don't worry! Catherine! It's still a little hot! Dumbledore hurriedly said, suspecting that if he didn't say anything more, the girl would pour the strange cup into his mouth.

"It's easy to fix!" Snape took out his wand and threw a Freezing Charm at the cup, and when he noticed that the tea was frozen, he threw another Freezing Charm, and when the heat came out, he threw another Freezing Charm, tossing back and forth until Dumbledore spoke.

"No thanks, Severus, thank you!" An old man over a hundred years old can't stand the heat and cold, let alone the hot and cold.

"Headmaster, try it, is it delicious?" Catherine's eyes flickered, and in a very cute voice, she encouraged Dumbledore to try.

"I-" Dumbledore couldn't think of any excuse to put it off, especially when he saw Snape's wand, and he realized he had to sacrifice himself.

Dumbledore slowly held the cup of "lemon tea" in front of him and took a small sip carefully.

Sour!

The super sour taste, even if he had eaten sweet and sour food for nearly a hundred years, he had never tried such a heavy taste, which evoked memories that he had not relived for a long time, and he couldn't help but take another big sip.
